ADI 2205=H4227, IMR4227 and W296 all work very well in my K

For me H110/W296 are more accurate than LilGun. Hornady 40gr. Tipped bullets. Have a lot of free bore so used a longer bullet.

No-brainer powder is 1680, best I have found is Alliant 300MP, if you like to walk the tightrope for maximum velocity use Lil'Gun. All the above work well with performance limitations of one kind or another. A new powder worth looking at is Shooters World SBR-SOCOM which is about 10% faster than 1680. M.L. MacPherson wrote some pretty good articles about both the 22 Hornet and the 22 K-Hornet years ago; you can find them on the internet. Best forum for Hornets and other small stuff is saubier.com . Hope this helps.

Don't you have magazine problems with the longer bullets.

I like 2400, 10gr is a real light load and real easy on brass. I use a dogtown bullet from midway, I think they are 32 grn but they might be 35. I keep the hornet to not much more than 100 yrds. If I'm shooting farther than that I'll use something else. Gary

Go with either CFE BLK or Lil gun and be happy. But do watch Lil gun for spiking when near max loads.
